The Sochi Olympics Sound Like A Hilarious Disaster

(CBS) -- Let's be honest. You probably never heard of Sochi until it was selected to host the 2014 Winter Olympics.

But that's OK. The Olympics are a great two and a half week infomercial for the host city, so there's plenty of time to learn about the small resort town on the coast of the Black Sea.

So here's what we've learned about Sochi so far:

1. The water might not actually be water. Whatever you do, don't put it on your face.

2. Some of the buildings are not really buildings. But hey, you can't destroy what you don't build.

3. The boardwalk features Super Mario Bros. warp zones.
